(please do go listen to it, it's an absolute banger and it's just been stuck in my head for the past few days).

Hey all, Mel here.

I've heard this while watching Borderline Forever, the new feature-length film Scott the Woz put out on his channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhbVUf3yyB0 go watch it btw) and I REALLY LOVED IT like instantly.

I took a few liberties from the original, mainly because with how Scott tends to sing his parts, it would not really translate well to the SNES - I filled out the more empty parts with other stuff, and I modified the end to loop back to the beginning (as if it were a boss theme or something - fitting given the context, IMO).

Made with Chipsynth SFC, limited to 8 voices & under 64k (for samples and echo).

Borderline Forever - Closing In (SNES Remix)

A sort of 80s flavour cover of this track from DKC2. I should do some DKC3 stuff too, but I'm not as familiar with that game. Also this is the second chill SNES cover in a row. Uh, whoops?

Also hey, I remembered to upload to YouTube! It's only been a year since the last time.

Tlesen Town is a frontier village in the northern Kerlynzian Empire. Life is rough and tumble out there, and many different cultures overlap here due to the nature of the frontier. Currently, there's a little bit of turmoil in town over a mayoral race...

Short work for string quartet in just intonation. This work uses 17-limit just intonation (although no 13s are present) and the ratios are annotated in the score.

The sounds are from Note Performer (an orchestral instrument library available for use with Sibelius Software) and the microtonal adjustments were made using the pitch bend feature inside of Sibelius.

Etude for String Quartet in Just Intonation No. 1

Microtrauma is another promissing Act from the Microtonal Camp. The Duo is producing music together already more than 8 years. After crossing nearly every style of electronic music they finally found their destination in technoid sounds naming Stephan Bodzin or Dubfire as their personal heroes. Their Microtonal debut is a very straight one – three primetime tracks full of long delaying uplifting melodies and great basslines. Great development to their last "Collar EP" on Elected Tunes in 2008.

This track is an example of a simple twelve bar backing track accompanying a solo melody written in free Just Intonation (JI).

JI allows access to all the frequencies, not just the ones on the piano keyboard or guitar frets. Often musicians when playing the blues, jazz, or guitar solos, bend the string to produce a higher pitch. In this track, there are no 'bent' notes, only precisely specified notes which are often noticeably different to the standard notes from 12-EDO.

Some devices used include:
- No scale - only addressing frequencies (in Hz) directly via whole numbers. E.g. 4, 5, 6 multiplied by 60 Hz would give 240Hz, 300Hz, 360Hz directly.
- Descending harmonic series, e.g. 32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16
- What sounds like vibrato, but is actually a combination of holding and sliding pitches several times a beat
- Rapid switching of frequency several times a beat, this is a common chip tune device.
- Descending shifting triads, e.g. 61, 54, 47, 56, 49, 42, 51, 44, 37, 46, 39, 32...

Just Intonation is the future for those of us who like both maths and music! I understand that not everyone wants numbers in their music composition. However, that's fundamentally what frequencies are, thats what harmony is, a combination of whole numbers. And you get more interesting results when using the numbers for what they are, which is unique chords well outside of traditional harmony. I am particularly enjoying the sound of the prime numbers 11, 13, 23, 29, 31, 41, 43 and 61 in this composition.

May the prime numbers be with you! Enjoy - Dave
